Brad, yes it has been made into an RC model and I have been lucky enough to have been its (this ones) only pilot.
Built from plans by mate Barry who loves this AC and got the plans from the UK.
He extended the wings by 6" and it flys beautifully.
I dont think it is avaliable in a kit though. I would say not.

Brad, very good, the Whirlwind is one of those rarely modeled aircraft. There are two gentalmen working on a 1/5 scale Westland Whirlwind on RC scale builder here's the link http://www.rcscalebuilder.com/forum/...683&PN=1&TPN=1 you will need to create an account, but no worries it's free to view the build thread. Vance has already built one Westland Whirlwind 1/7 scale with 76" wingspan.

Well done wingspar!!!!!!!
Yes the MkVIII had a some what strengthened fuselage and wing compared to earlier Mk's and had the retractable tail wheel as well. Earlier Griffon engined Spits used some Mk V fuselages but the Mk XIV was a MK VIII.
